Unwritten
Dr. Danielle Stevens doesn't do vulnerability. At twenty-nine, she's earned her place at the front of the lecture hall-sharp, composed, and untouchable. Her past is buried under layers of dark clothes, academic acclaim, and the rules she never dares to break. Until Alexandria Johnson walks into her classroom. Alex is everything Danielle tries to avoid-fiery, unpredictable, and disarmingly perceptive. At twenty-four, she's a graduate student with a tragic past, a fearless voice, and a habit of challenging authority. Including hers. What begins as subtle tension-glances held too long, words layered with meaning-spirals into something neither of them can ignore. But desire this dangerous comes at a cost. And some stories were never meant to be written. A slow-burn sapphic romance about power, restraint, and the pull of the one person who sees right through you.Complete
Warner Park (SAMPLE)
Lights, secrets, and second chances. A slow burn MM romance set in the heart of Los Angeles. Andrew // Starting over in Los Angeles wasn't supposed to be easy, but I didn't expect it to feel this lonely either. I left everything behind in Alaska to build something real-a yoga studio, a fresh start, maybe even a version of myself I can finally like. Then I meet Vincent Vickers. He's charming, quick-witted, and hiding more than he lets on. I tell myself it's just a job, just a temporary connection. But the longer I'm around him, the harder it is to remember what I'm running from. Or why I ever thought I could keep my heart out of it. Vince // I know how to play the part. Smile for the cameras, hit my marks, pretend everything's fine. But when Andrew walks into my life, quiet and sincere and nothing like the chaos I'm used to, the script starts to fall apart. He sees through the performance, straight into the parts of me I've kept off-screen. And for the first time, I start to wonder if real love could be more than just another scene in my life. 📖 Part of the Warner Park Collection The Bad Idea is part of the Warner Park Collection, a set of interconnected romances set in Los Angeles.
